each folder could be it's own window or could try to arrange them inside a single window

handling multiple folders

each folder is its own top-level window

try to arrange inside a single top-level window (the problem is of intelligently arranging the pieces inside also leaves empty space vertically)

each folder is its own top-level window but we mark all but one as participating in the alt-tab etc. and we provide an illusion they're a single group (by moving them as a group when the window is being moved)

width can't get bigger than the biggest item

width can be smaller than the biggest itme, in which case there are few possibilities

A website that allows comparing of poppler vs. mupdf vs. pdfium vs pdf.js rendering. Upload a PDF, render each page in each engine in both native size and down-scaled to a reasonably sized thumbnail for overview. The baisc layout would be:

Use web as a front-end. Mac and Windows native apps. Backend in Go. Mac uses thin Cocoa wrapper around webview. On Windows a C# thin wrapper around cef or C++ thin wrapper around the new project from awesomium. A remote agent is copied to a linux server and the UI talks to it using some simple protocol.

Local application where one can get browse-based shell/ide to a remote serve. Like nitrous.io or c9.io but as a local app which allows running on your own server. Works by deploying a Go agent via ssh to the server, agent talking back to local app or to the server.

Make it somewhat like StackOverflow i.e. people can tag a given code snippet with "Question" when it doesn't work or it doesn't behave the way they think it should. We would have a separate section on the website showing questions and basically replicate StackOverflow functionality (adding answers, accepting, uprooting etc.)

Add "critique my code" section where people can post working code and ask other people to improve. Other people could submit improvements, they could be upvoted, viewed as diffs, people would earn badges etc.

A simple web service where you can upload an image, mark the area to be removed and download the result. Could re-write in Go or JavaScript so that it can be hosted on a webpage without a server component

Like https://github.com/vividvilla/csvtotable but as a web service. Allows dropping CSV file, stores it indexdb, uses web service workers to convert to a table, allows sharing by uploading to a server and generating a url that would then download the file locally if not already present, using sha1

GitHub wiki is just a repository. If your project is foo/bar, main repo is github.com/foo/bar.git and wiki repo is github.com/foo/bar.wiki.git

Unclear how to get commit rights. In the worst case scenario could fork the repo and provide instructions for how to manually merge into main repo. Hopefully it’s possible to do from GitHub API.

Business model: either charge individuals a little bit per month ($2-$10) for the editor or make public repos free and charge more for privet repos, like $30/month. The idea here is that private repos are used by companies, which can afford to pay more.

One could build a single page app that includes all the important functionality of a blog.

USP (Unique Selling Proposition) would be: * cheap (almost free) to host * easy to deploy (follow a tutorial custom written for the software) * many themes (write it so that it can use e.g. Hugo or Jekyll themes)

Written in Vue.

Unfortunately, there’s no money in it.

publisher for notion pages

Publish content in Notion as:

blog

api documentation

FAQ base

book

other?

Host for free on Netlify using their API.

Free version would have a link back to the tool for SEO.

For others, charge:

$10 one time fee for a blog

$10/month for docs/FAQ ($100 one time fee for export to github)

Paid version also allows custom google analytics, maybe other features.

http://rickbergfalk.github.io/sqlpad/ is MIT-licensed app written in node. Package it as a desktop electron app and distribute via my website. Or maybe setup a public instance (after adding logging in or maybe storing credentials locally in the browser)

http://mylg.io/ is in Go with MIT license. Write a web front-end for it that allows to access the utility via web interface. The idea is that an agent can be deployed on a host via ssh and it connects to a website via grpc. Alternatively, do a "native" Mac app, where UI is web view talking to a Go server

“add”, “remove”, “sort by”, “save” are operations that work on list of records. If argument is not provided, it’s implicitly the last result. The argument can be explicitly provided e.g.: > $2 save flins_sorted_2.csv

Windows / Mac app that unobtrusively lives in background and shows the GCE spend. On Mac it would be menu bar app that expands to full window on demand and maybe even to a website where you can export the billing in various formats (csv, import as google sheets etc.)

wmi explorer for windows

https://www.sapien.com/software/wmiexplorer sells for $49 and has shitty UI. Write better UI in Go. For SEO build a website that has better UI than msdn and lists the same information (scraped). Also promote from my fork of wmi library for Go.
